Happy Friday, folks! I’ve added three new sets of printable leopard print cupcake wrappers to the shop. Each set comes with four different wrappers with leopard spot patterns and stripes. I’m hoping I can go from this to full leopard party printable sets, but that’ll have to wait a little while since I’m trying to get a jump on Halloween stuff right now (yeah, I’m running behind as always).

So far I’ve got these wrappers in hot pink, blue and brown. I’d like to add more colors in the future, but I’m not really sure what colors to go with next. If anybody has any suggestions for some popular colors (or color combos) that are more likely to sell, I’d love to hear them. Sound off in the comments below!

CALLING ALL ETSY SELLERS. I’ve got an Etsy shop. You’ve got an Etsy shop. I’m sure we’ve all sat in front of our computers for too many hours, heads swimming and eyes reddening as we’ve googled our lives away looking for ways to promote those shops. Well, google no more; I’ve compiled this big fat list of 36 articles and blog posts packed full of useful tips and guidance that’ll help you kick your Etsy shop promotion into high gear.

One word of advice while reading these articles: Read the comments too. Often readers will chime in with their own valuable insights. I can’t count how many times I’ve scrolled down to an article’s comment section and found that the feedback was almost as helpful as the actual article. Now, on to the list:

This article is as astounding as it is long. Each tip is a testimonial from an individual Etsy seller, and there’s enough marketing gold there to keep you reading for a good while. (For some reason the url says “5-tips-to-market-your-etsy-store” but trust me, there’s a bit more than 5 tips on that page.)

That does it for me, but now it’s your turn. Do you have any Etsy promotion tips or resources to share? Sound off in the comments below!
